The Red House starts from Liaodong

Wang Fengsu once again requested to set up a church in Jinjiang Town.

In order to persuade the general, he took the initiative to write a letter about the backwardness of Dazhou, and even Jinjiang Townships, cannons and other aspects.

Not only did Tang Qing'an not get angry when he received Wang Fengsu's letter, but instead he recruited shipping officials to hand over Wang Fengsu's letter to everyone for circulation.

"Two hundred years ago, the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was ahead of the western countries.

150 years ago, the Ming Dynasty began a strict sea ban policy, and with the end of the Ming Dynasty's navy's ocean-going activities.

The construction of large ocean-going ships was forced to stop, the original large ships were either dismantled or sealed up, and small and medium ships became the mainstream of the shipbuilding industry.

During these 50 years, the technology and craftsmen who built large sea ships no longer existed.

At the same time, the Western shipbuilding technology is gradually catching up with the Ming Dynasty, and the technology gap between the two sides has narrowed..."

"fart!"

The officials of the shipping administration only saw half of it, and they all looked worried.

Everyone did not expect that Wang Fengsu, who was always polite and respectful, would write such an arrogant letter to the general.

Although it is about the former Ming Dynasty, there is no need to look at the latter, of course Da Zhou cannot escape.

Although they are not from the traditional background of the mainland officials, they also have the arrogance of the upper country, how can they bear such remarks.

You said it, and I did the same, accusing Wang Fengsu in front of the general.

It was even suggested that the man be expelled and his church destroyed.

Seeing it, Tang Qing'an was also not angry, but he sighed inwardly.

Pride is not arrogance.

Up to heaven.

With the culture of Ming Dynasty and even Zhou Dynasty, it is of course ahead of the surrounding countries.

If there is no sea ban, the Shangchao Heavenly Kingdom is not just the Shangchao Heavenly Kingdom in the east.

A sea ban.

Only a small amount of tribute trade with neighboring countries was retained, which interrupted the development of the ship industry and the exploration of foreign countries by the people.

Influence can only cover surrounding countries, unable to draw from outside, and unable to spread to farther places.

Even overseas Han people who have seen the world overseas and know how big the world is, cannot return to China to increase their knowledge of the domestic nation.

Even because of the sea ban imposed by the Great Zhou, the overseas people and the Great Zhou were hostile to each other.

When good arrogance turns into bad arrogance, it will do great harm to both the individual and the country.

If these people in front of them had seen warships with dozens of cannons in the same period, I believe they would not be so angry.

Today, Spain's warships in the east are nothing but local third-tier warships.

"Keep reading."

Tang Qing'an said.

Everyone didn't dare to disobey, so they could only continue to look down patiently.

"The Great Zhou replaced the Ming Dynasty and also strictly observed the sea ban, but with the Japanese pirates' harassment, the Great Zhou began to strengthen its naval construction, and large lucky ships were re-manufactured.

But at the same time, the ships of Portugal, Italy, and the United Kingdom in the West are getting taller and taller, and the caliber and number of naval guns are also on the rise. The performance of Western ships surpasses that of the Great Zhou. "

Everyone was angry when it was said that the Western countries were catching up with Ming Dynasty, but now it is said that the warships of the West surpassed the Great Zhou.

Laughing out of breath, everyone held their breath instead, to see how arrogant Wang Fengsu would be.

"With the eradication of the Japanese invasion along the southeast coast, Da Zhou stopped building large ships again.

Until the outbreak of the Great Zhou Aid Korea War, the Great Zhou government could not find a large-tonnage blessing ship to fight in the Korean waters.

The tonnage of naval warships is not only much smaller than that of Western ships of the same period, even the pre-Ming Dynasty cannot keep up.

However, the emerging maritime powers in the West, such as the Netherlands, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, are actively developing their navies.

The specifications and styles of warships are gradually fixed, and a type of ship often has multiple levels to meet the needs of different combat missions..."

Everyone was very shrewd, and quickly guessed Wang Fengsu's intention in writing this letter.

The foreign monks in Jinzhou, this is not a secret at the government level, many people know about it, and they are very curious.

Many people have dealt with Wang Fengsu, so they know what this person is thinking.

It was nothing more than wanting to impress the general and allow him to build a church in Jinjiang Town. Everyone sneered in their hearts.

They neither objected to Wang Fengsu, nor were they willing to approve of this person, but since he used this behavior to achieve his goal, then don't blame them for their opposition.

"I think what Wang Fengsu said, although boasting of his own side, is not nonsense."

Tang Qing'an spoke first before everyone could speak.

"For example, the Hongyi cannon we imitated is the naval gun of Western warships, and they have special field cannons on land.

According to the weight of the shell, it is divided into several grades, which shows its professionalism.

And Jeju Island Maritime Trade, foreign merchant ships, you have also been to Jeju Island to observe, it is indeed different. "

Tang Qing'an wanted to convince everyone to accept new things.

Insufficient, not terrible at all.

Just like the country before he traveled, didn't he realize his own shortcomings in those years, learn and catch up.

Then there was the speed of China that shocked the world.

What's wrong with the shortage?
If I am not enough, I will learn and change, and I am surpassing you.

If others point out shortcomings, there is no loss in listening first.

Take what others say as wisdom and accept it wholeheartedly.Or treat other people's words as nonsense and don't listen to them.

All because of inferiority complex.

"General, although those foreign merchant ships have some advantages, our ships also have our own advantages.

Our lucky boat has a large space, can carry multiple artillery pieces, and has a strong hull, which can sink the opponent's ship.

And we are making the black boat model sent by General Yuehai. This kind of boat is stronger than Fuchuan, and has an extremely long service life, which can resist the attack of Franji shells. "

Some shipping officials tried to explain.

"Our advantages must be strengthened, and we must learn from the strengths of others. This is the foundation of invincibility.

I understand your concerns, and I understand Wang Fengsu's thoughts.

Since he dared to say that, let him take out the things for us to take a look and compare, and we will absorb the good ones.

If they are not better than us, we will do our best and do better. "

The general said so, but the officials of the shipping administration did not have much opinion, just as the general said, let's compare.

Tang Qing'an was extremely satisfied with everyone's attitude.

Although the sea ban caused Dazhou officials to know very little about the world, when people from all over the world came.

There are still many officials in Dazhou who are willing to learn, such as Gu Yingshi, Li Chengxian and so on.

Including the Ming Dynasty that no longer existed in the original history, the late Wanli period and even Emperor Longqing, Emperor Tianqi, and Emperor Chongzhen.

The Ming officials at that time, when they discovered the sharp weapons of the Westerners, they would learn them.

Francophones, bird guns, Hongyi cannons, geometry, etc., whether it is tools or knowledge, there are not many in the land of the late Ming Dynasty.

But with the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty.

Because of guarding against the Han people, all of these died.

After the opening and closing of Longqing, millions of taels of silver poured into Daming every year, and silk, tea, and porcelain of millions of taels a year were sold to Western countries, and even North and South America.

When the Qing Dynasty cut off everything, although the in-demand commodities of the big eastern countries disappeared, the money in the hands of various countries was still there, and the market demand was still there.

Manila had to seek a wider range of trading partners, and they searched the world for commodities that could replace the big eastern countries.

Many countries need Manila's silver.

Among them the United Kingdom stands out.

The British took control of cotton cloth in India, and used cotton cloth that was far inferior to the silk products of the Ming Dynasty. Taking advantage of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty developed during the period when the Qing Dynasty was established.

As the person with the most far-sightedness in this era, Tang Qing'an can proudly say.

With the rise of the sea trade in Jinjiang Town, it is becoming stronger and stronger.

The British don't want to replace the silk of Dazhou with cotton cloth from India, not to mention planting tea in India a hundred years later, replacing the share of Chinese tea in the world.

As long as the supply of Da Zhou's silk, porcelain, tea, etc. does not stop, no country in this period can replace the status of Da Zhou's commodities.

Then Jenny machine, sheep eat people these things and things.

The UK cannot replace Da Zhou's commodity status, so there is no urgent demand in this regard. It is indeed doubtful whether the industrial revolution can take place in the UK.

"Let Wang Fengsu come."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

If Wang Fengsu wants to preach in Jinjiang Town, he must obey the laws of Jinjiang Town and give him some time to bring benefits to Jinjiang Town.

When his pope forbids the people to worship their ancestors, it is time for Wang Fengsu to make a choice.

Whether to choose to integrate into Jinjiang Town or leave Jinjiang Town.

Tang Qing'an's self-confidence confused the officials present, and they left helplessly.

How can I not be confident in myself.

A lot of problems that people now seem to be difficult to solve, such as the problems that the Western church will bring in the future, are seen by wise officials, so they are anxious.

But these problems are not problems in his opinion.

It won't be many years, just after absorbing some things worth absorbing from Wang Fengsu, the problems that the current officials are worried about will not be a problem.

Because he knew why the pope of Wang Fengsu's sect forbade the people of the great eastern country to worship their ancestors, and at the same time, with the pope's ban, he also solved this big problem.

Either leave or fit in.

If you choose to integrate, then Wang Fengsu's Western sect is no longer a Western sect, it is as localized as Buddhism.

When Wang Fengsu of Jeju Island received a call from Marquis Pingliao, he was very excited.

He knew that with Ping Liaohou's vision, he would not miss what he said, as long as the other party could see the benefits, he would not be afraid that the other party would not take the bait.

The more shrewd the ruler, the more urgent the need for the sharp weapon he said.

The missionary of Jeju Island, Wang Fengsu and his companions, are rushing to Jinzhou to meet the current Marquis Pingliao.

On the road, looking at the surrounding cities and the people everywhere, Wang Fengsu sighed.

"In just a few years, the population here is only one million, and now it has a population of more than three million, which is really unbelievable."

The missionaries were not very moved when they heard Wang Fengsu's words.

What they fancy is the prosperity of Jinjiang Town, and the large population is not an absolute factor.

Since the Spaniards easily destroyed the ancient and populous empire in the Americas, the confidence of the people of the Western countries has also grown.

Tang Qing'an saw the respectful Wang Fengsu and the young missionary who was covered in thorns.

He didn't take it seriously.

The current Jinjiang Town needs to trade with merchants from various countries to obtain a large amount of Western goods and silver. At present, there is no conflict between the two, and they are mutually successful.

But conflict will come sooner or later.

Wait until the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty start to set off for the New World.
